Pastor Recommendation Form

Pastor Recommendation for Grades 6 – 12

Dear Pastor

Our desire at Greater Beckley Christian School is to be of assistance to the parents in helping them with their God-given responsibility, Psalm 127:3, in training up their children in the way they should go, Proverbs 22:6. In order for us to do an effective job in this area, we need your assistance as the pastor of this family in making sure that our goals and objectives are similar. We believe that students who choose to live by Christian principles should have a particular kind of school to attend, a school where there is a solid blending of faith and academics. Therefore, we prize students who strive for and maintain high moral and ethical standards and contribute to the quality of life here at Greater Beckley.

Statement of Faith

The following statement of faith is believed and taught at GBCS, but is by no means all inclusive. A. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the Christian’s final authority from God. II Timothy 3:16. B. The birth of Jesus Christ is evidence of His Deity in that He was virgin born and was God in the flesh. Matthew 3:16. C. The blood of Christ shed on Calvary is the only atonement of man’s sin. Hebrews 9:22; 10:12-20; I Peter 1:18,19; I John 1:7. D. The burial and bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the tomb and His ascension into Heaven was a physical fact. Acts 1:11; I Corinthians 15:1-4. E. The body of Christ, which is called the Church, is the body composed of all believers who by faith have accepted Christ as their personal Savior, and the local church is the physical representation of that spiritual truth here on earth. Ephesians 5. F. We believe in the blessed hope and the personal pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ. I Thessalonians 4:15-18; Titus 2:13. G. The Being of the Godhead exists from all eternity to all eternity, a trinity, three persons, but one in substance and in nature. Matthew 28:18,19; Mark 12:29; John 1:14. H. The believer is called to a life of consecration, giving evidence to the world that the Lord Jesus Christ saves, keeps, and satisfies. Romans 12:1.

Lifestyle Statement

As a part of our commitment to a distinctive lifestyle, Greater Beckley Christian School maintains a prohibition against the use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, and physical involvement or behavior unbecoming to a young Christian. We also maintain a modest dress code with reasonable restrictions on hair length and color, body piercing, and extreme make-up. We trust that these comments will be helpful to you in evaluating the possible match between this student and Greater Beckley Christian School. Please state your opinions and recommendations as clearly, briefly, and honestly as possible. We will keep your comments confidential.
